Feeling worried that it's all gone wrong The truth I wanted was just a lie The life I dreamed of didn't come along Might be time for the sweet goodbye I look around me with a quiet mind What's still clinging to my side No longer waiting for that old reply I start singing the sweet goodbye Goodbye old ways That were once my friend Goodbye heartache That would never end Goodbye shame & how hard I tried It is time for the sweet goodbye *INSTRUMENTAL* No regrets or alibis Sing hallelujah and dry your eyes If you're melancholy and you don't know why It must be time for the sweet goodbye Woah, goodbye old ways That were once my friend Goodbye heartache That would never, never end Goodbye shame & how hard I tried It is time for the sweet goodbye Woah, blessed release in the sweet goodbye
